If you want to save it at the client, then you need to download the file to the client and let his browser take care of it - you can't force "any browser" to save in any location, or even to bring up a save dialog. You can do it under very, very limited circumstances, but they do not apply to 99.99% of browser and setup combinations.

If you want to save it at the server, then you would need to write your own mock "save as" dialog to allow the user to select the server location - but I really wouldn't as it would be (a) difficult and (b) somewhat of a security risk...
